Trans crossmember help

[zippeay]

Ok, I've been looking around for a few hours and I think I'm just looking in the wrong places. Basically I'm trying to make my 64 lay frame, I've done the rear notch, put a 76 front crossmember in and I'm about to Z the front but.... the trans crossmember is already hitting the ground. Obviously I need to either take it out or move it up "I'm assuming I have to have it if I'm putting the 350 w/turbo 350 back in correct"? Does anyone have pictures of one that is modified for this situation? I can't seem to find any pictures but I'm sure I need to move it up at least a 2 probably more like 3 inches? Also once I do that will the big trans hump solve the problem of the trans hitting the floor? I found a big trans hump from a 4x4 but I'm not sure even that will be big enough for this. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Scroll down to the suspension section of the forum. That seems to be the place for bagged knowledge.

if you raise the back of the trans then one should raise the motor an equivalent amount
